Everyday that Clark is in this race, the more I think his chances of winning the nomination fade away. He might have the best shot at winning the general election, but he’s going to have a hard time getting out of the primaries. Especially when he makes speeches like this:

I didn’t get to go to the celebration of Normandy, but we heard the speech when he [Reagan] gave it. He talked about how the rangers took Pointe de Hoc. He talked about how they did it for love. And we all cried. That’s the kind of president Ronald Reagan was. He helped our country win the Cold War. He put it behind us in a way no one ever believed would be possible. He was truly a great American leader. And those of us in the Armed Forces loved him, respected him and tremendously admired him for his great leadership …

But if you look around the world, there’s a lot of work to be done. And I’m very glad we’ve got the great team in office: men like Colin Powell, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Condolzeezza Rice, Paul O’Neill–people I know very well–our president, George W. Bush. We need them there, because we’ve got some tough challenges ahead in Europe.
